    No love at Sony for George Stevens' The Talk of the Town (1942)

    Not that it matters to anyone at this point, but yeah, it apparently still hasn't been discounted much (on Apple/iTunes), if at all... except it was actually included in that Columbia 100 bundle sale back in Jan -- and yeah, I bit on that sale, so have it. For some reason, thought I might've...

    A24 Stop Making Sense Restoration 4K UHD

    Sooo... this is a (very?) substantial upgrade from the old BD then? And exclusively available direct from A24? I guess this might be one rare case that "forces" me to spend over $50 (as we discussed in Ron's thread about as-yet-unreleased, coveted 4K titles)... :P Interestingly, it's only $5...

    How to connect desktop PC to Denon receiver

    Beyond what Wayne said, if you actually have working analog audio output in your PC's back panel, I'd probably suggest using that instead of the headphone jack in the front -- that might possibly work noticeably better (and reduce clutter). No idea if it'll be worthwhile to you (at least at...

    2024 MLB Season

    BTW, MLB.TV just started offering rest of year coverage at their typical 1/2 price of $70. Had been waiting for that myself... And oh, Skenes is amazing too -- probably end today w/ 11 Ks vs just 1 BB across 6 hitless, shutout IPs against the Cubbies. Maybe he's the 2nd coming of Mark Prior...

    2024 MLB Season

    Elly is certainly amazing and extremely fun/exciting to watch... and definitely seems to have made substantial adjustment to reach the next level (or two) and very much on his way to superstar-dom. Still definitely could use additional refinement at the plate (to more fully unlock his...

    How to connect desktop PC to Denon receiver

    Your PC sound card doesn't have any digital outputs? IF it does, that's probably the best way to go. IF not, yeah, you can just use analog connection. Your AVR comes w/ plenty of inputs for both options, but it most likely will do its own analog-to-digital conversion, if using analog...

    Official STAR WARS Saga Discussion Thread: Part 5

    That probably made more sense during the era of the prequel trilogy since they had believed/assumed the Sith no longer existed, but yeah, wouldn't make much sense to keep after. Of course, Obi-Wan and even Yoda did make the exception and end up training Luke though... probably at least partly...

    2024 MLB Season

    I don't know, but that seems like MLB may be drawing/walking too fine a line on that rule. Rosin is sticky. It's supposed to be sticky (to some extent) -- it likely wouldn't be used at all otherwise. And seems like they're just opening that rule too much to interpretation if pitchers are...

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)

    LOL! Just wait for Taylor to return from his deep sleep in space (nearly) a couple millennia later to say that line -- I'm sure it also won't feel as cliche/redundant by then... ;):cool: _Man_

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: The Last Emperor (1987) (4k UHD Combo) (Blu-ray)

    Don't know I'd actually consider it (definitely) better, but agreed it doesn't feel that much longer, if at all, despite the fact -- it certainly flowed very well and is at least equally engrossing IIRC the last couple times I saw it... though it's been many years now since I haven't found...

    Official STAR WARS Saga Discussion Thread: Part 5

    I don't mind Jar Jar quite as much as back then, but as I mentioned, I did miss the first 15-20min at the marathon, so missed a good deal of his screen time. Those made perfect sense to me and were never hard to understand/accept IMHO. And most absolutists/dictators/totalitarians that rise to...

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    ^Well, if it's only the theatrical cut that's 2.35:1 and 4K (and the BDs are just recycled from their old release), then I'll probably pass (and probably just get whatever from Arrow... though I had been hoping for reissue of the complete set vs the single-disc, theatrical-only 4K). I already...

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    Niiice... though probably need to keep dem fingers crossed for The Last Emperor 4K. I might get Mother on BD (though won't rush to do so), but probably not Real Life. Wondering if Apple/iTunes will get those 2 on digital upgraded to 4K... I'll probably get The Last Emperor 4K since I missed...

    Dream projector screen (temporarily)

    ^Yeah, I would consider/try just projecting on white wall as well -- I did that for a few years even though I also had/have the (previous gen?) Elite Yardmaster. Currently (after my last move), I'm using my 120" Yardmaster up against a windowed wall in my small-ish livingroom space (w/ hind...

    DVD Organization Apps or Software

    DVD Profiler is probably the best... at least for Windoze users (who need reasonably good iOS/Android app support), but yeah, not sure how long Invelos will last... although a recent support development (w/ server hardware update/refresh) seems more positive after several(?) years of seeming...
